"I have no friends": 3 steps to dealing with the pain of loneliness

[@JuanCruzFabi]

"Loneliness doesn’t come from not having people around - Loneliness comes when the people around you don’t understand who you are on a very deep level" I felt that

[@johannaalexander2009]

Re:Don’t understand who you are. I totally agree with with what you’ve said there, because it’s more their perception of who they think you are without actually knowing you. When I moved to a place where no one knew me, it didn’t find it daunting because I saw it as a fresh start. The environment was lovely, air fresh & green, if you know what I mean! I had a plan to integrate using my homemade scientifically formulated skincare & approached salons in my locality…great idea i thought. I did that & one salon said due to my professional background the person I spoke to was very keen & had to speak to her business colleague, which she did & the answer was no. I didn’t stop & kept going & approached all 4 salons with my 100% natural anti breakage hairgrowth product, which stops hair breaking & encouraging hair to grow at scalp level. I gave products away for free making it understood that it needed to be used for a minimum of 3 months, knowing that after using for 1 month they would be pleased with the initial results…. but no. I’m a middle aged woman but looks 10 years younger due to the skincare I create, using a lifetime of experience. I’m so unhappy & depressed that people seem curious about me but don’t want to get to know me. I’m chatty, well presented & told I’m attractive….an inventor! But it’s not enough. My interest in my purpose in life is waining, I’m single & live alone & hate it! I’ve stopped going out the house weeks at a time because when I do, I speak to no one & no one apart from staff in shops interact with me. God has said I’ve fulfilled my purpose in life by curing hairloss & hairgrowth issues but no one speaks to me on social media when I do posts. I don’t just do this for financial reasons I do this also to make friends by offering something different & useful to both men & women alike, sharing something I love to do & with 35 years luxury skincare experience. I’m based in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 & craving for change in my life & want to be surrounded by some really decent transparent, good people to have deep meaningful relationships with. I have a good sense of humour in the right company too. Check me out on Instagram Kitxander Like by pressing the ❤️ drop me a line #lonelyheart & I’ll know you’ve seen this message. If all my followers are from here, that’s fine by me because we have to turn this loneliness around somehow & this suffering in silence & ALONE must stop ✋ #kitxanderapothercary #kitxanderhairfoodelixir20 #lonelyheart #antibreakage #instant #thickening #strengthening #menandwomen #thinninghair ? #hairgrowth #menopausal ? #allhairtypes #scalpcare #skincare #antiageing “I Have No Friends” 😞 #KITXANDER Instagram #kitxanderapothercary #share #thankyousomuch

This has been my exact experience. When I was doing well in life I mentored refugees and helped different friends and family members with their rock bottom and crises situations. Those people then went on to do well, succeed and be happy. Now that I am struggling, most of them are no longer around. I've had more kindness from strangers. A kind neighbour I met supported me through two major bereavements after most of my friends had disappeared. Its very frightening to feel so alone and realise most people don't want to know if I am struggling and won't even listen to me after I was like a free therapist to them for years.

Exactly!! It's so frustrating not having people in real life who you can be your real authentic self too ): ,I'm apart of the lgbtq+ community so it really hurts that I have to hide. I wish I could be myself and have atleast one genuine friend that likes me.

[@Thestr8noodle]

I feel the same way man. Besides my brother, parents, and maybe a few neighbors, I don't have anyone to talk to say how I really feel inside. I have things bottled up inside because I wasn't taught how to express those feelings effectively and it got so bad years that I was thinking about suicide, even though I would never do such a thing. I'd often get invited to hangouts with people, but I feel even more lonely than when I'm alone and feel like I'm the odd one out and feel like i don't belong but i pretend to be a little happy. It drains me on the inside. My question, is, what's the point of life if every time you go out with people, you feel invisible and people just ignore you and that one random guy initiates a conversation that doesn't last more than 5 minutes.

[@imana8907]

Nick Powers i relate so much!! im alone with my thoughts most of the time and honestly it’s so frustrating and painful to have no friends to talk to about my feelings. so i force myself to hang out with the people in my life. But when I socialize i feel like i don’t belong at all and honestly I end up feeling even lonelier. I just want to find people I can be myself around already bc keeping all my feelings bottled up is literally so exhausting but I don’t really have any other option bc there’s nobody in my life I feel comfortable talking to. It’s comforting to know that im not the only one though haha. And I totally feel you about the suicidal thoughts. Life can feel super exhausting and empty, but we’ll get through it, life will get better with time :)

I find people regardless of if they are friends very draining and I get into a position where I am the one always giving or feeling like I'm not doing enough.

Im always Introvert independent and enjoy being alone. People dont understand that so they make assumptions and that puts negativity in the air. God is with us!

I'm so sick and tired of being alone. I keep coming back to watch this video, because when I watch it, its like my emotions reflect within me. I want to vent somewhere, to someone. But I can't. So here I am. I have no friends and I have never had any true friends. I don't want to waste my youth by sitting cooped up in my flat, watching movies all by my self. Films are my go to when I feel alone, its like dipping my finger inside a Peanut Butter jar, but knowing I will never truly have it. Its the only taste of feeling what relationships could feel like to me. It feels like I have tried everything. Improving social skills, going to a mental health club, talking to a therapist, etc. None of that helped. NONE. I need to hold someone. I want hugs. I want to laugh with someone. But I have no one. I want to lay my head on someone's shoulder...but there's no one. I have cried so much about it, I can't even cry anymore. It feels like my life has no meaning. Is someone out there for me? I keep on hoping...but by each passing year nothing changes. I would do anything for real friendship or companionship at this stage. It feels like I am continually reaching out into an empty void of nothingness. So thats it. My heart cut and splayed in front of whoever's reading this, if anyone.

[@gybx4094]

I would encourage you to find some physical fitness activity or sport that you enjoy instead of sitting and watching movies. Get out and do something that makes you feel good. If I could jump through this screen, I would give you a hug and genuinely be a friend, but I can't do that. So, just know there are people who care.

Same here. I believe this behaviour has 2 faces like a medal. While on one face it attracts narcissists and selfish people, on the other one it attracts authentic people who misinterpret your "niceness" for weakness or hidden interests. It's not easy but basically everyone should find a balance to not become a people pleaser and a really nice person/people who will probably share with us just a little of our life.

[@loislee2895]

I was about to comment and say the exact same thing. I'm good at caring and making space for others; I rarely, if ever, receive the same. As the video says, I don't expect it back, however, when I've lost a job, home, long term relationship, these "friends" are nowhere to be found. Does one continue with this friendship when it's only one-way? Or does one have respect for oneself and create boundaries, therefore changing that friendship to one of fair-weather acquaintances only?

[@Sabrina-ed2lt]

I think in those cases you should talk to them first if you care (not the begging way of couse). Sometimes when we are down we might not be the easiest people to be around. I've exeprienced this myself during the past year. Sometimes two friends might be facing strong problems at the same time and not be able to be emotionally available to help each other. Not that they want to be mean but it's just a way to deal with problems. One should always do what makes him/her feel at his/her best, and respect oneself (you are the only person you can count on at the end of the day so you must care for yourself first). If they seem to not care after realizing they hurt your feelings then go for your own good. You will find people who is ment to be for you when you least expect it. Stay safe and never loose hope.

There's a fine balance. You need to recognize your own needs and not put yourself last all the time. It's also important to choose the right people to invest in and to avoid narcissists at all costs. Make sure it's people that care about you and your well-being, people capable of being kind and compassionate in turn. Narcissists don't care about people, they merely use them and discard them when they no longer serve a purpose. It's important to watch out for such people.

No matter how hard or how little I try, no matter where I go, no matter who I socialize with, it always ends with the same result. All my life, I’ve tried my best to look good, be friendly, welcoming and kind to everyone i meet, have good hygiene and it’s like no matter what I do, I always end up with the same result of having no friends. Everyone always compliments me and say: oh you’re such a nice person, this and that but whenever I try to develop a closer friendship with people they always back off and it always leaves me wondering why. I’ve slowly been starting to realize that it doesn’t matter how much you socialize and try to put yourself out there, if you don’t fit in with society, you will never make friends.

What you have to be careful with is if you're a generous, giving, caring, supportive person you spend your whole life being used by "takers" and still wind up with no friends, while the "takers", whom you were always there for, move on and are never there for you in return.

I’ve been alone for 8 years, 0 friends. My best friend met his future wife and I needed a place to stay as I was flat broke. I was deeply depressed, but ended up getting kicked out of his apartment because he wanted to show his then gf that he was a man etc. it killed me when he kicked me out of his house. We were friends for 13 years and he threw my suitcase in the trash can and asked me to take my stuff out of his apartment. It’s been 8 years since that day, and it genuinely hurt me really bad. My ex felt I wasn’t good enough and dumped me as I knew she always had one foot out the door in the event a better looking guy/better fit for her comes through. I’m 39 now, and my entire 30s has been spent in loneliness. My dad also ended up getting a heart and kidney failure and it’s been especially hard for me. I feel like I’m about to lose him. My mom has turned senile and she doesn’t love me anymore. Yet with all this, I’m trying my best daily to wake up, study to try to get better jobs, and managed to get a new dog that’s 2 years old now because I don’t have a family that’s inviting me on holidays to spend time with them. What I’m trying to say is, I feel I’m still deeply depressed and am trying to find a girlfriend to invite me into her family so that I can have a big happy one myself. I just don’t think it’s ever going to happen to me at this stage anymore

[@lowelljohnson744]

That sounds like such a bad combination of undesirables for one person to have to bear. If your friend was trying to show he was capable of "being a man", I'd say he'd failed in his endeavours; Ditching his mates at a time when they were already hurting is not a sign of being a strong, well composed or mature person (be it a man or woman.) I know this probably won't help but I'll say that at least if you've managed to keep yourself afloat (in spite of the way-less-than-ideal circumstances,) you can at least take pride in that fact.

I’m 18 and I’m so different from the other kids my age . It’s because I choose to follow my own path and do what makes me happy, that’s the reason why I have no friends. One thing I’ve noticed right is that it’s always the people who are just like everyone else that have the most friends, they’re literally all the same and I always ask myself how is it that all these people are into the same thing? Well it’s because they’re not, most of them are putting on a fake act jjst to please others so that they won’t end up alone. Everytime I have asked people for help, they always try to put it on me saying things like: “oh you don’t socialize enough”, “you’re not giving it time”, etc. I eventually just ended up realizing that this is more of a external problem, than an internal. Because at the end of the day, we can’t really control other peoples actions so if you’re having a hard time making friends like I am, just remember that it’s not your fault

Be your own best friend, rely on yourself & immerse yourself in your own passions, these three things are the key to a contented & successful life.

The worst mistake that I ever did was when I was a teenager back in 1986 was make friends. I was the kind of kid who would meet one person who would be my friend and then introduce that person to another person who would be my friend and then and so on and then the next thing I know it turned out to be a big problem because I would have friends who were guys and girls and then the next mistakes that I made was I told everyone of my friends about my life and the kind of family that I came from and it ruined me by them using all of that against me. And then the only time they would want me to hangout with them was if I’d loan them money ( In which I’d never get back) or watch there dog for them when they were on vacation with there families or help them move there furniture to there next apartment. And then I put up with the introverts who I would used to hangout with and they would never say a word about anything of any subject or anyone that they knew or even anything about themselves. Then I had to put up with the guys fighting over getting that one girl who I would try to get to be my girlfriend. And then they would bring there problems and there drama into my life and then they would make me depressed. In the old days when we did didn’t have any technology we had to call our friends by using our home phones or just ring there bell or knock on there door when we wanted hangout together. Now thanks to technology, everyone just texts or calls on there cellphones and now I just block there cell phone number and they get the hint to just leave me alone. Trust me, you don’t need any friends, there nothing but trouble. I’m more happier being by myself. Just stay home and read a good book or learn to get into a new hobby.

It makes it harder as all my siblings have been married & have kids of their own. I feel different. I've always longed to have friends & do what I see others doing, now I've just isolated myself. My heart has been broken enough, I couldn't cope with it happening again. People are so quick to judge you by what they see. If they only got to know me they would find a nice person underneath.

I feel like I did this to myself. In elementary school, my parents forced me to take school way to seriously and what ended up happening is that I started valuing school over my other peers. In middle school, I had maybe 1 or 2 friends at this point, but they both left school. I eventually lost contact with them and still haven’t heard from them since. I became the loner in school. Now I’m in high school. I tried talking more and tried to meet new people by playing sports, but I ended up feeling more lonely. Every girl I liked never even saw me or knew I existed. Everyone goes to the mall with their friends while I’m at home doing nothing. It really sucks and because of this I get depressed whenever I’m at a dance (or in any social situation) and I’m just standing there all alone. All this time, I’m still taking school way too seriously just like in elementary and middle school, though it’s because it’s basically all I have now. I tried convincing my parents to go to a different school so I could at least meet one or two new people, but of course they wouldn’t let me. I’ve been going to the same school now since pre school and I just want a fresh start and to renew my reputation. Especially since I started to get bullied. I told my parents about it and they literally just said to tough it out and wait until graduation. Edit: the reason I wrote this is because I just got a painful reminder of this when I had to write an essay on my befriend(I don’t have one) in French

[@tomtalker2000]

I had friends or who "i thought" were friends but ended up not. I've been a loner all my life basically and i attribute most of that to my mental health challenges. Having bi polar disorder, social anxiety & ocd. Most folks just can't deal i guess with my issues and bail. Ironically though i'm usually always there when i do make a friend or two. To listen to there problems and be there for them. So i do feel that i make a good friend in that regard. However, after being burned countless times your mind starts telling you your better off alone. You really have no positive experiences to reflect on that can help you overcome your loneliness and push forward in a social manner. I've been that guy on the beach countless times that this guy talked about in the beginning of the video. Often seeing others enjoying themselves while i feel the tears streaming down my face wondering what it must feel like to be accepted, having fun, and have friends in your life. However, them my mind goes back to being burnt and that other half of my brain says don't bother. When your dealing with mental illness as i have it makes it all the harder to motivate yourself to try new things and especially new social situations. Sometimes we need that person who can take you by the hand so to speak and motivate you to just try before you pre-judge a situation and not bother. But when you don't have that falling into a reclusive state often happens more times than not. For me a lot of it is "fear based" as to what people think of me and will i be accepted. My mind gets flooded with bad thoughts of being ridiculed or judged right from the onset of trying something new. To the point i don't bother. It's a vicious cycle that can be VERY difficult to break. And while i know the good lord didn't put us here to live our lives alone. That doesn't make it any easier either. Granted i see a therapist every week and i'm on medication for my problems. And luckily have a great companion dog who truly is my best friend far more than any human could ever be. But your life is still lacking that social stimulation that it needs. It gets to a point where you resolve yourself that you'll never find that special someone to settle down with much less friends. However, i keep trying as hard as it is because i know i have to. Otherwise, the reclusiveness can become so bad it's crippling. If only there was an easier way but then again life isn't easy now is it. God bless to those who are struggling with this or any other mental health problems.

[@ReasonablyHilarious]

Idk what it is about, but over the last 2 years people just really started being nasty and rude to me. Im always kind & REAL with people. But for some reason people just don’t like me, especially my coworkers. I was really close with one person. And out of the blue they just turned on me for no reason. And then most of the people at work who I thought I was cool with slowly started to turn on me and became extremely close to that person. It was really dawning on me for while. But now I just don’t give af about any of those people or that person. Hopefully one day god blesses me with a wonderful spouse, and a handful of friends who GENUINELY care for me.

[@badgerfishinski6857]

You're right. Nobody gives a s*** about you. Nobody gives a s*** about me either. That's the era we live in. It's going to take a big disaster or catastrophe in order to change this feeling that we have in the world. The euphoria that the United States had after world war II is a good example. Nowadays we take everything for granted. We don't understand the worth in other human beings. Social media and the media in general is a huge cause of this problem.

I am at the point where I just call people acquaintances. All my friendships in my 38 years have grown and 90% of those have burned away. I learned to pickup up more hobbies like wood and metal working in my shop, getting into history/studies/topics more, and exercising. Besides my family/wife & kids.. I just don't have it in me to get to close to someone outside of my boxed life.. for reasons that the friendship will eventually and most likely fade anyway. I am good and I get a little lonely once and a while and I just fill that space with something that can better myself mentally or physically.

I did I tried this. I have been lonely and depressed for such a long time and be through a lot of terrible stuff. There is a lot of anger inside of me. But instead of did something crazy I was trying to find something meaningful to do to bring value to society and purpose to my life. I find a job at out of school care to working with children. Becasue I find to bring a positive lifelong influence during the child‘s critical development age is such a critical thing to do. And to my surprise, there were three children really liked and connect with and I was being able to understand them really deeply and most importantly make them feel happy and good about themselves. There were a lot of other children who liked me too. There were yelling my name when I come to work one day. I played with them keep them active and let them jump on top of me to give them and me a good time. The first boy run to me and hugged me twice. The second one asks me if I want to go to his home. And guess what in the first place one of the girls that boss really trust got jealous of me because the kids like me the most are the boss’s son and it used to be her. So she did complain a lot about the things I did like I got on the rooftop to help children get the ball down to be a positive male role model and that I let the kids roughhousing with me because on the internet it says roughhousing is great for kids development and the children loved it. She told a manager and my boss that there is something weird going on between me and the kids. In the end, made the boss fired me because I am only a playmate not an adult leader of the children. And this is an out of school care where we do not even have any teaching to do. In the second place, the lady who is second in charge saw the unhappy face I have when she says the children stand on the mat and swing with rope is dangerous because it is too high and got pissed at me start to treat me like shit. Then one day I let the children play outside barefoot which there is also a paragraph that says that it is good for the kids then she fired me. Then the last place where I was so cautioned not get into trouble and lost all the creativity I have in my previous job. In the beginning, everything is fine that all of my coworkers lift me up and support me. Then when the original coworker quit they got this old lady who is the owner and centre manager‘s friend in everything changed. She hates me for no reason. In the beginning, I do not even know it was her I just felt that the manager used to give me a lot of space and trust me that even let me close the place and stay with the children alone start to not liked and changed in attitude. Then the things become obvious and obvious that she will do everything she can to sabotage me and make me looked bad. The manager left her in charge and the kids don’t listen to her then she blames everything on me that the manager doesn't let me run the gym and play with the kids the way I used to play with them which the kids really enjoyed because it caused too much trouble. I was told to and organized things in a way I completely not good at and obviously, the kids didn‘t listen to me and now even the big boss is here that everyone thinks I am bad at my job. I am being sent to work with her in the small kids' room because I can not handle the big kids when almost all of the kids liked me. She keeps sending me back without notice the manager makes me looked at I go back myself. And I was excluded from all of the job and teamwork that even the newly hired have more responsibilities than me because I am not good enough. The kids do not listen to her because she is not good at this job and she throws all of the trouble to me and lets me handle it and then of course see he is not good at this job. She told me to stand at the door of the boy bathroom in the school and did not noticing me when there are no kids are coming make me look like an idiot. She blames the fault that she and coworker make that lost a kid in their care to me which I was assigned to another duty and have nothing to do with it. When the gym time is over she comes in and tells kids it is snack time and makes every kid and including herself out of the gym and only left me in there with a mess nobody cleaning. Then she made a report to my manager that I never let the kids clean after themselves and do it myself all the time. Which is straight-up lying I always make the kids clean after themselves in the gym use my motivation style until she comes and makes it really hard for me and only this time. I was measure with a high-temperature one with one thermometer the manager want to double-check with the one in the other room she did it for me we both saw it was normal temperature and I overheard their conversation that she told the manager she measures my temp it is just as bad which it is straight-up lying. When saw a girl who gets along with me really well sitting there lonely I go sit down beside her to have a conversation with her she told me to stand up and walk around. Then she starts to exclude me from the team and let me do the pick along with her and my coworker while they work as a team. To make it worth she starts to give me the that is not in the same class and the kids I am not normally pick up with without noticing me. And the kids came out at the door she normally at so she knows it very well just to get me lost kids to get into trouble. She keeps asking me to do things in a tone that is like she has been asked me so many times that make me looked like a bad worker in fact those are the first times she asked me. And the list of the things she did goes on and on I know that it is time for me to start defending myself. I mentioned picking up a list in front of her and the manager then defend myself after she asks me to do things in a ridiculous tone when she asks me for the first time. And guess what the manager let me go for me defending myself and told me that I am not good for the job that kids do not listen to me and that I have been here long enough that I should know better without her even ask me. I am not even allowed to visit when I did nothing wrong. I did want to visit because I made a mistake with the children I understand the most that I ignored him purposely after he looked at me in a not hateful way one time then he is really sensitive and thought I did not like him. I regret right after that and did not want to leave them having him thinking I do not like him as a person that is not good for his development. I want to make him feel good about himself. No, I guess I am not allowed to visit so I was angry and raged on the internet. Then instead of trying to understanding me and comfort me people take the trash to me. Now every place in town would not hired even the there is non-profit care would not even accepting for a volunteer like I did something wrong like I am a criminal. In fact, I gave those children a really good time and at the last place on the last day, almost all of the kids surrounded me and hugged me even pushed me on the ground. This is a job and things that really make me feels sense of purpose and make me feel not lonely because I genuinely wanting to help those kids without anything in return. And I did find children that I really understand them and they also really understand me and simply liked me for who I am. Now I can not see them again and no other place would accept me for simply trying to do good things fit in the society and bring positive value to others and to those children which I did. I make them happy. And for those few kids that have a person who really understand them to help them grow is a really good thing for their development for I can not help them anymore. I tried it now I only got more rejection and more loneness and painful memory. I do not know what to do now I did a good thing to others and now got treated like the plague. This not supposed to be in a storybook. And most importantly I am lonely again.

My mother who I've always been close to call my has come down with dementia and is now in a nursing home. I feel like I've totally lost my sense of identity as well as certain securities with people that I've shared most of my life with. Since the pandemic has hit, my isolation has increased significantly since I can no longer go out to music venues and concerts as I had done frequently and have increasingly become despondent and disheartened about living. I see you're living now more than I ever have in my life and my sense of security has totally disappeared.

If you ever feel lonely or like no one cares about you, know that I, while I might seem like nothing but another random person on the internet, do care for you, and pray that you get better.

I'm in a similar situation, except I'm living with my parents so they can still have their house. They're 85, mom has Alzheimer's, dad's pretty much ok, but it's not safe for them to be in the house alone - if something happened to my dad, my mom wouldn't even know how to use the phone. I'm single, no kids, and I do have friends, but most are married w kids and very involved in all that. I feel like I'm trapped. I'm the only sibling who can live here, and if I leave, that will be the end of my dad's independence because they would have to move to some sort of assisted living. I'm glad my dad can be in his hard-earned castle. He and my mom worked hard to give their six kids a good life. But it's like my life is on hold. So I see my friends very infrequently, don't date, work from home, and am burning out. My confidence to meet new people is nil because I feel a lot of shame about my life. I feel like my life is closing in on me. I never in a million years would have imagined this is how my life would be.

Smoking really resonates with me! I would say to myself, it’s there to comfort me when everyone around me could care less! There is a physical release of dopamine type neurotransmitters when you smoke. In a social situation that only made me feel MORE alone as an individual, I’d separate myself and have a ciggy. My “time out “ for mental health. Finally after two hospitalizations for pneumonia, I was able to quit. I wanted to live because I love my grandchildren. I’m so truly sorry for your suffering. I realize that some of us, are alone for most of our lives, even in marriage! All I can say is that I’ve drawn closer to Christ (He will NEVER abandon you), and I realized that I don’t have friends because I am too intense, too passionate, too honest. People want people who are shallow, will agree with them and generally avoid the big discourse. I get that. People like me, are pretty rare, so it’s hard to find a friend…. I’ve finally stopped trying. I focus on being kind to those around me (without being a doormat!), and developing and pursuing endeavors that are meaningful to me. There’s a reason a lot of us don’t “fit in” and maybe it’s because we’re just uncomfortably deep. So be it! My cats love and trust me… my grandchildren adore me…GOD loves me, and even though I am disabled and in pain now, I know that all this suffering is preparing me for my eternal home. People who have not suffered and who deliberately AVOID suffering, are often the most uncaring and mean people I’ve met. Let your suffering be joining in the cross of Christ! Give it the true meaning it deserves, and press on! Finish the race with Courage and Grace. Peace to you. You are not alone.
